RHEUMATISM usually settles in the
back or limbs and often SO completely
overpowers its victims that all business
and labor have to be abandoned Our
readers should remember that Hoods
Sarsaparila is not recommended as a
positive specific for rheumatism; its
proprietors doubt if there is or can
be such remedy. But many people
who were most severely afflicted, state
that they have been positively cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla The disease
is often the result of impure blood
hence the power of this great madi-
cine over it. Itssuccess in many severe
cases justities us in recommending its
use to all sufferers from rheumatism.
